Xbox Games Pass: Xbox One Games List in Full

Sat, May 20, 2017

XBOX GAMES Pass gives subscribers unlimited access countless Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for £7.99 a month.

Both platforms have a solid lineup of games to choose from this month, combining high-profile releases with a lesser known entry.

PS4 has the highest rated game of the lot, with Life is Strange earning a Metacritic score of 85%. Critics describe it as a captivating and emotional series with great characters and original gameplay.

Killing Floor 2 doesn't fare quite as well. Scoring 75% on Metacritic, some critics say that it oozes fun, while others criticise the lack of variety.

Xbox One has the highest profile release in Watch Dogs, which only scores a 78% on Metacritic. Watch Dogs is generally criticised for being a bit dull and for not living up to its promise.

Speedrunners isn't reviewed on Xbox One, but the PC version scores an 85% thanks to its fast and frantic gameplay that's perfect for a party.

Even though it's close this month, Express Online is going to award this one to Xbox One. Not only do the Xbox games have a bigger combined score, but it's a great blend of blockbuster experience and addictive multiplayer action.
